Celebrity homes robbed

A video still from a surveillance camera provided by the Los Angeles Police Department shows three suspects attempting to enter the Hollywood Hills home of actress Lindsay Lohan in August 2009.

LOS ANGELES — For a group of Hollywood-obsessed teens, entertainment news on the Internet offered more than a glimpse into the lives of stars. It helped them break into celebrities' homes.
The teens tracked the movements of stars such as Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton and broke into their houses, making off with millions of dollars in stolen possessions in a spree that lasted almost a year.
With a few clicks on the Internet, police say, the suspects developed a wish list of designer clothes and jewelry, then raided the homes while celebrities were away.
Police last week arrested four young women and two men on suspicion of burglarizing 10 hornes in the Hollywood Hills. In addition to Lohan and Hilton, other victims included "The Hills" star Audrina Patridge, Orlando Bloom, Megan Fox, Brian Austin Green, Ashley Tisdale and Rachel Bilson.
"They thought it was fun, kind of an adrenaline rush," Los Angeles police officer Brett Goodkin said. "They would go in and steal the celebrity's clothes and possessions, things they could never afford on their own."
Police said the teens scoured celebrity blogs and Web sites,looking for valuables, and then used the Internet to find where the stars lived.

Items stolen "run the gamut of high-end designer clothing," Goodkin said. "You could pick a designer, and they would be among what was taken."
Police displayed an evidence photograph Wednesday depicting approximately $2 million in stolen jewelry that was recovered and returned to Hilton. The thieves snatched dozens of items of flashy, gem-encrusted jewelry, then made off with it in the socialite's Luis Vuitton bag.
properties through doors, windows and, in one case, a doggy door. The burglaries lasted from October 2008 until September.
An attorney representing some of the victims said the crimes highlight the growing risks faced by celebrities in a world of unending
"You cannot on a weekly basis publish pictures of the back entrance to someone's house and do stories on their collection of cars and jewelry without increasing that person's vulnerability to theft and harm," Berk said. "It's a celebrity envy thing."
media attention.
Publicists for Lohan and Bloom did not immediately respond to e-mails seeking comment. Patridge's publicist declined to comment.
"It's the new sociopath generation of '1 really like those Chanel boots.' Instead of going out and buying them, they just steal them."
Paris Hilton retrieved stolen belongings, including most of her missing jewelry, from police, but did not get everything she lost, her publicist said.
